Me having Bhagawan's darshan

Mama has set up a meditation room in her house. She’s got a statue of her guru, Bhagawan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri, in the room. Every day she decorates it with fresh flowers and she lights an oil lamp and incense. I like it when she plays the harmonium – but I hate the guitar. It’s scarey!

When mama was in Ganeshpuri in February, her friend George had just lost hig dog. He was very upset, and mama was too. Then they found out that somone poisoned the mother of these cute little puppies. George decided to adopt the little black one. Mama doesn’t need another one – she has me!

Mama in Ganeshpuri

My mama loves India, especially Ganeshpuri. It’s a little village near Mumbai.

The dogs in India have a pretty hard time – in all sorts of ways. Mama feeds them biscuits because they are often hungry.

Sweet little dog in Ganeshpuri

Bacchus — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:08:16 +0000

My mama has just come back from another trip to India. She told me about this sweet little street dog that she fed each day. She said he would meet her near Umesh’s chai stall in Chapel Street, and she would buy him some biscuits. He was very gentle, and didn’t snatch the biscuits from her hand like some hungry dogs do.

He has part of his right ear missing (street dogs tend to get into lots of fights because they aren’t desexed), but I think he’s still cute.

In a country like India, these little puppies have the odds stacked against them. Fortunately, they don’t know. For the moment, they were contented – as contented as you can be with a half-empty tummy.

Unloved…

This little puppy was sitting on the road by a pile of rubbish in the Indian village of Ganeshpuri. There are many street dogs in India and most females look like they’ve had several litters. While breeding goes unchecked, little fellows like this one don’t have a lot to look forward to.

Take a tip from Tipu

Tipu lives in Ganeshpuri with his human mother, Yogini (who runs a great guest house, and makes the world’s best chai). He has a bit of a cough that the doctor hasn’t been able to fix. Even Sylvia’s healing session didn’t fix it, but he probably adored the attention.

Tipu doesn’t let his cough get him down. He gets on with his life – checking out new visitors, running out the front gate to see what’s going on in town, and making sure he doesn’t miss out on Yogini’s great food (he’s almost on the podgy side – quite unusual for an Indian dog). And when he needs a bit of a rest, he has a good lie down.

Sounds like a pretty good approach to life, don’t you think?

Rani, Queen of Ganeshpuri

Not all the dogs in India have a hard life. This is Rani, and she’s a very fortunate dog. She lives in Ganeshpuri with her human mum, Yogini, and is well fed and loved. She also has some doggy brothers and a sister: Shakti, Ilu and Tipu.

Rani is a very regal girl, but she has a gentle heart and nature.

And don’t you just love those crossed paws!
